the second challenge is the fiscal environment we are in. i can tell you, no one in my organization believes, as we go forward, the u.s. special operations command will not have to participate and potentially be taxed as a result of the sequestration and need to move forward on the budget. we are working with the secretary of defense and joint chiefs of staff what their return on investment is, and we can make a good argument, but make no mistake, the budget will affect us directly, or as it affects the services, it will affect us. we do not do anything that does not have a service component to it. this is something that is frequently misunderstood. one of our principal principles within special operation is we do not do anything without service support. force have an air platform, or maybe it is a navy submarine watching the seals, or an army brigade providing route clearance packages. wedo not do anything where do not get support from the services and injured agencies. finally, let me address what i think are some misperceptions out there.
